1. I’m still trying to understand how this system works. Can you summarize it for me? Sure. Its very simple, but at the same time, its …REVOLUTIONARY! …Proprietary software that gives our members the means to “meet” and choose pre-screened, professionals, (PMAs) with direct sales experience, to follow up on their sales leads for them! Members / Marketers are introduced to a stable of PMAs/ Professional who are more than capable of doing the hard, tedious stuff. In a way, you could think of it, a bit like a private, member only, dating service or kind of an Ebay for Direct Sales. Professionals connect with members, and both of them connect with prospective buyers; and the system ties all of them together.
2. Why did the Automated Sales System choose to Market the Coastal Suite? Simple. We could have marketed virtually anything but we believe these packages are the best. Vacation is the #2 Business online! You really couldn’t a have a more, in demand market. Travel is appx $6 Trillion per year! People Love to Travel. Also, and more importantly, these are real, tangible, products with real value, ridiculous profits and more than 10 year track record.
3. Who are these PMAs (Professional Marketing Assistants) mentioned in the movie? The PMAs are, first off, just as you said, “Professionals”. Unlike other systems, our PMAs are NOT Telemarketers and DO NOT work in a call center. Also, the PMA following up is not a random, one of many, person. Its always the same person and it’s someone you choose. The PMAs are .. professionals in every since of the word! They are pre-screened individuals who do phenomenal follow up with prospective members and sales; most important, they all have the highest degree of courtesy and manners and they are all capable of explaining the packages we market and this system. All of the PMAs have asked to work in this system because they are from the small, unique percentage of people not only like to follow up, answer questions and do sales, but they’re also quite good at it. All of them are screened to the highest degree so we only have PMAs who are of the highest character and integrity. We know how valuable our member’s prospective sales are to them.
4. OK, so how do I get a PMA? When you start with this system, you choose your PMA from a list of those who are currently available to handle new clients. You do this through our proprietary software; and as soon as you do, your whole system, ie. your website, auto email follow up system etc are all configured for your PMA to follow up on your prospects. If you want to change PMAs, you can at any time by simply pressing a button and selecting another; your system will instantly be reconfigured to your new PMA. By they way, we should say, if you are one of those people who enjoys following up, you can always be your own PMA.
5. Can I be a PMA? Possibly. First off, we need to tell you up front, we are very particular and the position is enviable and one of trust. To be considered however, just tell the PMA you speak with that you’d be interested to learn more.
That’s simple. Your main role in this system is marketing. You simply advertise your site and your PMA will follow up and complete the sales for you. We have THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE, LIST OF MARKETING RESOURCES OF ANY BUSINESS ONLINE. If you are new to marketing, or you want to be more passive, we can show you where to market as well. We have several lead vendors who have pre- configured systems to produce prospects specifically to our system. When your PMA (or you complete a sale) you will be paid immediately. Your other job will be to take your profit out, process the simple required (1 page) paperwork and have coastal drop your customers package for you. You can also order in bulk from Coastal (and get a further discount) and then do the shipping yourself.
7. How do the PMAs get paid? Simple. The member who the PMA closes the sale for, will pay the PMA directly within 3 days of the PMA closing the sale. The members also have the option of being their own PMA, but almost all of them prefer to have a professional doing there hard work, while they are out enjoying life!
Great question. If you’re a qualified, Resort Level Director, you will still make a $1K profit, However, A LOT of money is going to go right past you to your Level 2, Premier or Level 3 Platinum Director. Its one of the reasons we tell people, if at all possible, take advantage of the marketing plan and start with the Platinum or Premier package yourself. The packages have far more value but, the profit is also significantly better. Also, the PMAs will always give information on the advantages of the bigger packages to all prospective buyers. It just makes more sense, if you can, to go with the larger package.
9. Is this MLM? No, its not! Nothing wrong with MLM but this is Direct Sales. MLM is a marketing system whereby a person builds a down-line of distributors to sell a variety of products, and then splits the commissions throughout Multi-Levels. Most often in MLM, there are meetings to attend, monthly purchases required, and it usually takes a large down-line in order to actually make a sizable income. With this system and the packages we market, there are no monthly purchases, no hyped up meetings, and we don't split commissions. Another characteristic of MLM is that the company will most often hold your commission and pay you after a period of time (2 - 4 weeks). And in MLM, only about 5% make the money, the other 95% help them. In this business, you work for yourself, not for a company or an up-line. The Automated Sales System simply makes your sales of these packages a thousand times easier. When you get a sale (or we should say, when your PMA makes one for you), you get paid first. YOU keep what you earn, not someone else and you will then pay your PMA a tiny amount for closing the sale for you. Simple. Remember, the profit on the gross profit on these sales are $9,700, $3,200 or $1,000.
10. How can the packages give all this value ($15K+, $28K+ and $40K+) for $1,295, $3,995, and $11,000 and still have $1,000, $3,200 or $9,700 profit? First, you have to understand, it’s by far, in the best interest of all resort properties, cruise ships and travel destinations of all kinds to make sure their facilities are filled to capacity, both for appearances sake, and to cover their expenses. Also, the Coastal Suite has been around for many years and as a result, they have significant buying power. Far greater the any single individual.
11. How much will it cost me to advertise this business? Great question. First off, we have the most comprehensive list of places to advertise of any business we know of. This means whether you have no marketing experience and/ or you want to be more passive, we can show you where to market. Our advertising resources have more than 100 places. We have several places in our resources pages that are free (and work well) and we recommend all of our members do those. (since they are free), As a result, we have some directors that spend very little on advertising. Others, however, will spend $10,000 - $15,000 a month. (Their profits may be 4 or 5 times that amount). You determine how much you can afford and where YOU want to spend your advertising dollars.
No. However, most marketers become so enthused about this program, and the package itself, that they feel compelled to share it. Shoot - your mother-in-law needs a vacation too. But, again, we can show you where to market, so if you never want to tell a sole you know (although we can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to share the greatest business online), you wouldn’t need to.
No. Many marketers continue their current employment until they reach the level of income they desire. Others choose to leave their profession sooner, so they can focus all of their efforts toward earning a faster return with Coastal. Obviously, this is a personal decision. Remember, if you have a PMA following up on your prospects for you, you will be building your business … even while you’re at another job or business.
The possibilities are truly endless. First off, realize that you have stumbled onto the greatest business, with the most time tested packages on earth. With that said, our members also have access to marketing resources that are unmatched by any other business. You will be presented with more ways to market this program and these packages, both online and offline than you could possibly imagine. A small sampling of where we show our members to market is everything from free marketing to “pay-per-click” / search engine, newspaper and magazine advertising, email systems, voice broadcasting phone systems etc as well as … people who can coach you on how and where to market. Many marketing places, you can set on virtual autopilot once you have them going. For the novice or more passive marketer, we also have lead vendors who have created specific leads which feed directly into our system, with people who have seen our marketing movie! All they need to do is to get some more information and request a callback (test drive) and your PMA will be following up with them to close the sale.
It all depends on how quickly you start and .. how quickly you start marketing. Nothing happens until .. that happens. You determine your level of income based on your marketing efforts. Again, we have lots and lots (and lots) of marketing resources and turn key lead programs etc, but you have to start. Some members that have jumped right on it, have seen several sales in the first few weeks. When you fill out a Call Back Request ask the PMA what kind of results some members are having.
16. Tell me more about the product? Although the Automated Sales System could have marketed virtually any direct sales product, we chose the Coastal Suite. We did this for a reason. There is nothing else marketed in the direct sales world that we knew of that provided what these package do. They are time tested and provide the lowest priced, most extensive vacations on the market. Coastal places their value at $40,000, $28,000 and $15,000. Our members market them for only $11,000, $3,995 and but $1,295. Its even reported that Travel agents and other companies have sold the basic, Resort, package for $2,500 - $5,000 and even more! Everyone loves to talk about going on vacations and about deals they got. Review the details of the packages on the Product Page. You will be amazed.
17. What’s my spouse going to say? We love this question because we have a better answer than most any business. Unlike almost any other business or product you could choose to market, we feel this business has the greatest “Spouse Sell-ability”! We’re not selling Potions or Lotions or Marketing Systems. When your wife, husband, friend or business partner asks you just exactly what kind of business this is and what you will be marketing, and you tell them about the coastal suite and this system, its likely they’ll say what our spouses said “Does this mean we get to go on vacation?” The answer of course is YES! (And you’’ save a bundle!)
18. I never owned a business. How can I be successful? That’s OK, most of our members were in a similar situation and many choose to continue to work or run other businesses, since they don’t have to take to follow up with prospects, or answer questions etc. Their PMA can do that for them. With our system, what we’re doing here is not rocket science. We market awesome, time tested packages with huge value to the purchaser. Our members have their own website email system, complete back office, advertising pages and help from their Directors when they want it, not to mention a professional to follow up with all their prospects. If you can place a piece of advertisement than you have what it takes to be successful. Remember anyone who’s ever had success had doubts about getting started, but once they did, they found they could do it.
19. How do I get Paid?
When your PMA completes a sale for you (or you, as your own PMA, if you choose) they will direct your clients on how to pay you $1,295 or $3,995 or $11,000. This is typically done via FEDEX, UPS, paypal or a number of ways. It’s really your preference. You then keep your profit of $1,000 or $3,200 or $9,705 and pay your PMA (if you used one) a small amount. You will start earning profits immediately after your TWO training sales are complete. Unlike other businesses, you earn 100% of the profit on the package. (You pay your PMA a small amount, if you use one) . Anyone else that joins you and is marketing the packages, will do the same thing. They will give you their first TWO sales. This is the same kind of compensation plan as is used by many other professions such as mortgages, insurance etc. You can create enormous amounts of leverage with this time tested compensation plan. Just fill out the call back form and ask the PMA for details of how this plan works. For complete details on how the pay plan works call Coastal for their 3 minute marketing call at: 1-800-628-6435.
20. How do I know this isn't a scam and shut down tomorrow? All of the companies behind these packages are some of the most respected and ethical companies in the vacation and travel industry. Coastal only works with companies who are licensed and bonded, and most of the companies behind these packages have been in business for the past 15 to 25 years and handle millions of client calls yearly. We welcome anyone to check out each of the companies we represent and see for themselves. Their long track records, filled with excellent customer service and the utmost integrity, will impress even the greatest skeptic. Some of our long-term travel partners include: Now, perhaps you can understand better why we say “this is the greatest business available” We market the greatest, time tested packages; we use the greatest compensation plan, a plane where you get paid first; we use state of the art complete websites and systems and we have a stable of professionals, from which you can choose to follow up on your sales. We know you have more questions so go through, fill out a call back request (take the system for a test drive) and see what all the buzz is about! To your success!
First you have to understand how the Vacation & Travel Industry works. The price of a resort stay, cruise, or an airline ticket depends entirely upon projected capacities and vacancy rates. A resort rarely achieves 100% capacity, and empty rooms cost them money. Resorts will reduce the room rates and create special packages to attract guests to their resorts because people will always spend money on restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and casinos. Another factor is that Coastal purchases in huge quantities; that means a lot.
Of course, they are absolutely genuine! Resorts as well as marketing companies have been selling similar vacation packages for 25 years and generally selling them at much high prices. Nearly all hotels, resorts, cruise lines, etc. have vacancies on an ongoing basis. They find that participating in Vacation Package programs is a viable form of "advertising" to bring in guests who obviously then spend money in their restaurants, bars, shops, etc. Then, these trips have long been a mainstay for several agents. Today many savvy travelers use promotional packages such as this for their vacations savings thousands of dollars each year.
Two of the vacation certificates in the Resort (Level 1, “Basic”) package are good for one year. All other free vacations are good for one year after the date you mail in the voucher to activate that particular vacation. The travel discount membership cards can be renewed as a group for only $89.95 per year. This is less than $5.00 per card with more to be added. Many regular cardholders pay from $50 to $199 a year to renew a single card. None of our clients take 20 plus vacations with 5 cruises each year. By activating each vacation when you're ready, you can take every vacation at your leisure. Plus, your 20 bonus vacations are still valid even if you choose not to renew the membership cards.
YES!! They all are transferable. Most families just don't have the time to take advantage of the wide array of great vacations in this package. So why not use the ones you want and share the rest with family and friends. The membership cards (issued in your name) are not transferable.
Plan ahead as you would any major vacation, choosing several preferred time periods. Through your club membership you will also have access to "shorter notice" trips (if they are not sold out) at huge discounts for cruises, vacations and condos worldwide.
Generally speaking, the vacation packages will not be available during the heaviest peak seasons and during the major holidays. Some providers might ask you to submit three choices as to when you want to travel - and they'll nearly always accommodate you. However, with so many available destinations, you should be able to travel almost any time you wish.
No. These are promotional vacations and are not to be individually re-sold. But you can give them away to others. You might even donate a vacation to a non-profit organization or school raffle. If you own a business, reward your best employees or use some of the vacations as incentives to increase sales of big-ticket items.
No, Definitely Not. No crazy sales pitch! All you need to do is submit a request for you preferred dates and you will be notified as to which one of your preferred dates is available.
